Hi Unregistered,
We'll be undergoing major forum changes in the very near future. Be sure to check out the details here

To provide an enviroment for competitive battlers, artists, and general pokemon enthusiasts to learn and discuss pokemon, as well as obtain art and compete against other clans. Ultimately we just want to have as much fun as possible.

1. Being active is as important to this clan as any other, being inactive for more than two weeks without a reason given to a leader will result in removal from the roster.
2. Don't be a douche. If you and another member have an issue take it to PM's or message a leader with your problem and we will do our best to solve it, ultimately just show respect to everyone.
3. Don't clan hop, you may not be let back in if you attempt to leave and join several times.
4. Don't spam on the thread (Yes, this includes gifs unless they have actual useful information attached) as it's annoying and mods don't like it.

Something to Keep in Mind: This clan is primarily a competitive online battling clan. Although we are more than happy to accept members, we can't offer services or opportunities to things not relating to competitive battling (Example: Wifi) unless the need for it is from enough members. Thank you for understanding.

At Battle Rhythm we have three divisions. When you first register you will be asked to select one of the divisions. Your decision really does not effect the path you take in the clan, but having seperate divisions allows for more even leadership and better opportunity for inter-clan competition. Some notes about leadership and divisions.

-A leaders judgement is final unless overturned by the other leaders.
-Any problems you have within the clan should be first taken to your division leader, then if need be, to me.
-The clan is a democracy, meaning no decision will be made by the leaders until it is accepted by the majority of the clan, this includes wars, promotions, tournaments ect.
-For anyone who doesn't battle (I.e, Art, Breeding ect.) You still select a division, however all functions involving art and the shop should be taken to Lost Requiem, our Shop Leader.
-Sparkbeat becomes the interim leader of the clan should I be on leave.

The clans currency is known as Beats, or BP for short. Beats will be needed to to rank up within the clan. The following are ways to earn Beats within the clan.

-Winning clan battles (More on this later.)
-Recruiting members to the clan
-Providing art or other materials to the clan shop
-Success in tournaments or events. (Can be in clan or out of clan.)
-League success. (TMP and SBF are currently the only leagues that qualify to earn Beats)
-War success.
-Help with tutoring or pokenalysis
-Good Stuff (Any good deed done for the clan not mentioned above that is worthy of a reward.)

On Battling Within the Clan:

Members are highly encouraged to battle within the clan. All battles are ON RECORD unless both members agree for the match to be off record BEFORE THE BATTLE BEGINS. The following is the values that can be earned through interclan battles.

Winning a match against a member of equal or lesser rank- 5BP
Winning a match against a member that ranks higher than you- 5BP + 1BP for each rank they are above you.

No match however, will be recorded unless the following form is posted by at least one member who competed in the match.

Spoiler:- Battle Form:

Code:

Opponents Name (Serebii):
Your Name (Serebii):
Score:
Anything Else?:

*Leaders are eligible to battle and receive Beats from. We will also be attempting to climb through the ranks and earn BP because well...its more fun for us that way.

*You cannot lose Beats from battling. This makes it easier for us too keep track of Beats, and makes battles more fun.

Test Battling:

Any member who was not recruited to the clan or we are not familiar with will be put into the default Ameteur rank. If you are recruited or recognized I'll let you know you will start at the apprentice rank when I accept your SU. You may also request a test battle from one of the following members to earn up to 100 Beats, and obtain Apprentice rank that way if you are good enough. Since you can only earn 100 points, the amount given will usually be pretty generous.

Players you may test with are:
Sheps
Sparkbeat
Spiderman123

The following form should be used in order to join the clan, a leader should get to your app shortly after you've posted.

This is where I'll Post any important recent information regarding the clan.

Spoiler:- News:

1/2/13 The clan opens!
1/17/13 Battle Rhythm loses their war to Chaos Theory
1/24/13 Battle Rhythm completes their first tournament.
2/9/13 All tournament posts are now moved to the guild tournament thread.

Thank You's
This clan wouldn't look as nice as it does without the help of the fantastic art community at serebii, taking care of every ridiculous request we've made. The following artists made contributions to this clans art and have fantastic shops you should visit.

Members may request to test for the war team once a month. The war team can be of more than 5 members. Me and Spidey will decide prior to accepting a war what the lineup will be based on team member availability as well as who we are warring. The subs are for when we require a player when no other War team members are available or we need a player on a moments notice. Lost Requiem handles everything having to do with testing for the wifi war team and may set his own testing standards and conditions.

Spoiler:- War History:

Loss 2-3 to Chaos Theory.

*War team members are encouraged to put those UB's in their signature since...well...it's cool.

Welcome to the Meta Corner! Here will be the place to go for discussion and analysis on competitive pokemon. Anyone may have things posted here so long as they are approved, which leads us to the rules.

Rules:

-We would love any entry you would like to offer, but put some effort into it before you send it because it saves me time.
-No flaming or badmouthing of anyones opinions. If they are blatently wrong about something I won't put it in, other than that. Everything everyone says is a fair opinion and should be treated with respect.
-All articles wished to be seen on the page must be Pm'd to me first. Don't rush me, I'll get to it eventually.
-Please try to actually discuss the stuff that gets posted, otherwise there is no point to any of this. Plus good discussion can earn beats.

Reuniclus is an interesting pokemon, and also particularly deadly when entering TR. He has one of the worst speeds in the game but highest special attacks, this set allows it to take advantage of both. The three attacks provide as good of coverage as money can buy and Reuniclus also has the perk of setting up its own TR.

75% of Pokemon gamers use cheats and specially made codes to make their pokemon battle-worthy. If you are one of the 25% percent that level their Pokemon up legally, put this in your signature. (Started by SkittyLover77)

98% of fans believe that Ash's Oshawott will not evolve. If you are part of the 2% that believes in Samurott, copy and paste this into your sig and screw the haters! (Started by PrinceGray) for Ash! XD
